This Saturday, 8/17, the Sargent House celebrates Block Party from 6-8pm.
SHM will have costumed actors roaming the garden, historic lawn games for
kids, and first floor Open House during the festivities on Main Street.
Boxed lunches by Beach Gourmet will be for sale; bring your blanket to
picnic on our scenic lawn.
At 6:30pm Henry Allen’s North Shore Folklore Theatre Co. will perform an act
from Judith Sargent Murray¹s 1795 play “The Medium” on the Block Party
stage. Judith¹s plays were the first plays by an American woman to be
staged. They have never been performed in Gloucester, and have rarely been
exhibited since their original debuts at Boston¹s Federal Street Theater.
Witness history in the making!
